Is there some confusion about the correct usage of gee gee?



But seriously folks, I gg on loss 95% of the time. If I'm on iccup and I lose to cheese I might lose my cool and leave without it but I do feel stupid for doing it and fix it by gg'ing the next game.

Some people remember the hotkeys to leaving a game, f10, s and s again I think. (surrender and then you confirm) and it happens so fast that the opponent has time to type it back. I kinda feel gosu when I type it real quick :D


Hold alt then press q twice.

On another note, I don't understand how people are so anal about seeing the gg. Other guy didn't say gg, big deal. Don't have to do drastic things like whisper gg to them or bm them.

I recently just learned that you're not supposed to GG when winning. Is it really that offensive? because I play pubbies and people do it to me all the time. It's not offensive and always when I have no chance of winning. I do it to players too, and they gg back. There really is no point to being so pensive about two letters. It's common etiquette and it makes me feel better to say it whether I win or lose because I think the other player feels good too.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

@ eMbrace:

people need not say gg back, because as soon as the loser gg's, he should leave the game, not linger to see if the winner gg's back. it's utterly ridiculous, and completely pointless to know you're the loser, say gg, and instead of doing "gg F10 E-S-Q" you actually wait around to see whether the player gg's back. WHY? to see if he has any sportmanship? the thing is, when you lose, you're supposed to just gg and leave, feeling bad about losing, then go straight to watching your replay and improving upon your mistakes

seriously, a thread about whether your opponent should gg back? COMPLETELY pointless thread, not to mention, stupid and painfully obvious topic

i don't say gg when i lose random iccup games, not because i'm trying to be rude or anything it's just so smooth to just go ALT QQ and insta-start a new game.

but if i beat someone and they say gg i will always say gg back to them. but if someone just wants to leave without saying gg i'm quite happy with that.

funny that quite a few of you use F10 to leave games. ALT + QQ is so much faster

I always say gg. It just seems like proper etiquette, and it has soon become habit. Even when people leave without saying it, I'll still say gg, just to give myself some closure as the game ending.
